Everything Salad

This salad can serve as a side or as the lunch or dinner, especially if you add lean chicken, ham or turkey. The ingredient amount can be altered depending on the size of your salad bowl; what is listed here is intended for an extra large size bowl. I always take this to pot lucks.

Ingredients:

5 cups of a variety of greens such as young dandelion, lamb’s quarter, mint, *spinach, etc.

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 cup green beans

1 cup sweet corn

*1 cup sweet peas

*1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup sliced mushrooms

*1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 quarter cup sunflower seeds


*3 hard boiled eggs, cubed; try duck or turkey eggs
1-2 avocados, sliced

*1/2 cup picked beets

*1 quarter cup black olives

Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Ingredients can be changed depending on what you like. We prefer Lite Italian dressing, although many people prefer it “dry.”
